Everywhere we look we can find research and evidence that tells us smoking and cigarettes are bad for our health. Doctors tell us that we should stop smoking. Some studies suggest that as many as two in three smokers would like to quit. Yet, it sometimes feels impossible. For many people willpower alone is not enough to quit.
Many people want to stop smoking, but success is somewhat hit or miss. Where one person quits “cold turkey,” another constantly starts over when their progress falters or fails. When we struggle to reach our goals we become frustrated and potentially anxious.
Why is this?
What makes it so hard to stop smoking?
First, let’s take a look at the problem and the bigger picture.
Those who smoke are far more likely to succumb to diseases including infertility, gum disease, heart disease, and cancer. Among cancers, smoking has been associated with cancer of the lungs, mouth, throat, nose, blood, cervix and pancreas. Those are a lot of potentially costly health problems that could cause you to consider to stop smoking.
However, the problem doesn’t end there.
Smoke doesn’t just affect the smoker. Others are affected as well. I have met so many parents/grandparents who avoid smoking around the children in their lives. While they want to quit, they cannot seem to kick the habit. While difficult to quit, there are many people out there who want to quit not just for themselves, but for those they care about.
